Are preparing to host their annual veterans day observance at the veterans walk of honor.

Due to covid-19, the nonprofit is making new changes to the tradition.

Instead of a public ceremony, there will be an open house at the veterans walk of honor.

Guests are invited to walk around and observe the memorial.

You're also encouraged to create a thank you sign for veterans.

The signs will be posted along the street near the open house.

A volunteers tells newswatch 12 the event holds a special place in the community.

"if we can't have a huge gathering, at least we can do is invite them out, you know, to look at the names.

Um, some people come out once a year just to look at their names, look at their loved ones that they've already had their names put on the wall."
